Package: cryptsetup-bin

Severity: wishlist
Hi.
Could cryptsetup be build with support for pwquality? Perhaps
loding it via dlopen() so that one doesn't need the stuff in initramfs
and friends.
Cheers,
Chris.

Christoph, I'll close this bugreport for now. I will not build
cryptsetup with pwquality support for now. Personally I don't like
password quality checking mechanisms too much. And if such mechanisms
are implemented, then I agree with Milan, that they should be taken
project-wide.
Kind regards,
jonas
